Classroom Rules in Motion!

I had no intention of changing my rules for next year until I came across Stephanie's fantastic idea on 3rd Grade Thoughts!  I love how she has her rules worded, and even better yet, how she has her students recite them along with hand gestures!  What a great way to reinforce your expectations and the importance of cooperation in the classroom!  Check out her blog to see how she has her students put these classroom rules into motion!  I adapted mine a bit and created posters to fit my decorating scheme.  You can download them for FREE at my TpT shop below!

In a previous post, I shared my Why the Red? document to send home if a student lands on "red" when using a Clip Chart System.  Since my rules have changed, I updated this paper, as well.  I print a handful of these off on red paper and keep them in my students' personal files once they've come back signed.  Luckily, I don't have to use them very often!  Click the image to download my STAR Behavior packet on TpT!

I send a Behavior Plan home on the first day of school, outlining our classroom rules, Clip Chart System, expectations, and consequences.  The students and parents both have to sign the bottom before returning it to me.

 Here's what it looks like:

I know each classroom is different, so an editable Word version is available at my TpT shop!
